About

The audience of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival experienced a great musical event when the Kammerchor Stuttgart, conducted by its founder Frieder Bernius, performed Luigi Cherubini's Messe Solennelle No. 2 in D minor. The soloists of the evening were Ruth Ziesak, soprano, Christa Mayer, contralto, Christoph Genz, tenor, and Thomas E. Bauer, bass. The recording of this truly extraordinary work is now available on CD. After a beginning which seems familiar, unforeseen, imaginative and witty turns lead melodic progressions and harmonic developments into entirely new directions. The harmonic variety is impressive, and chromaticism plays no less important a role. Subtle instrumentation lends many sections an exquisite sonority. And last but not least, the deeply felt interpretation of the text by means of melodic, rhythmic or harmonic figures, as well as by dynamics and tempo is one of the outstanding features of the work, highlighting the performers' brilliance. Frieder Bernuis and his Kammerchor Stuttgart again enthral us with their skill and expertise in this wonderful choral work.

Cherubini is one of the most dramatic voices of the late Classical period and this mass runs the full gamut of emotions, mournful to ecstatic. Fabulous, full-blooded performances, without histrionics creeping in.

Jan/Feb 2021

The six soloists are outstanding, Ruth Ziesak being especially notable in the high tessitura of the part. The playing and the choral singing are exquisite.
